Delete Tags automatically

Hi all,

I created rules which add tags to files based on the name of the folders the files reside in. The tags are dynamic and named after the folders.

However, if the folder name changes or anything like that, the tags remain based on the OLD information.

I am trying to create rules which delete old tags. I have tried the ''If changed' rule on the enclosing folder but it does not work. I may be creating it wrong, not sure.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks!

Maybe try something like:
Code: Select all
    If (all) match
        If (all) match for (the enclosing folder)
            Name matches (• parent name)
        Tags do not contain tags (• parent name)

Where (• parent name)'s pattern is just the "anything" token. The above will match if a file does not contain a tag with the parent's name. It may require some fiddling but that's the basic gist.
